Hi Andy,

The only problems are going to be the same as Mondeos or most other Ford's from the same time.

Two main unusual things with the Cougar are the wishbones are unique to it (apart from the Mondeo ST200) and the tyres are an unusual size if you're on standard rims.
 
Hello and welcome aboard Andrew, you've got the same model as mine...so what colour you got? Ebony? Frosty? Blurple? Green? Get some pic's up of your Coug soon.
 
Hi Andrew, hope you are enjoy Cougar life. I've had mine for over 5 years now and loved it. It's not had any problems that you wouldn't get with most cars. The only thing I did discover (too late) was that it is fussy about it's alternator. Worth a read up on the site before changing it if you ever need to.
